Butterfly Kisses

This is a poem I have worked on since the first night I decided to live instead of die, to write instead of hold it all inside. Its a writing of my daughter, God knows I miss her so much.

These moments engraved upon my heart

Butterfly kisses, sweet baby girl, before we part

A thousand prayers I must have prayed

Please Lord, let her stay

No promise beyond this day

With every moment engraved upon my heart

Butterfly kisses before we part

Tiny and warm within my embrace

Your perfect smile I began to trace

A kiss set upon your brow

Time passes quickly now

Sweet songs I shall sing 

My life you gave to me

With every moment engraved upon my heart

Butterfly kisses before we part

A lifetime to place within a breath

This day I shall never forget

Trembling hands upon your face

Each tiny feature I begin to trace

Eyes, I can see so blue

Those dimples, your daddy has those too

With every moment engraved upon my heart

Butterfly Kisses before we part

Tiny chin, perfect nose

A smile not quite your own

In your brother it will show

My heart aches, my time almost through

To face this lifetime, without you

With every moment engraved upon my heart

Butterfly kisses before we part

Heart beats once so strong

Never would I hear your song

Your smile I shall find

beyond the hands of time

Upon the wind of heavens love

You safely wait up above

With every moment engraved upon my heart

Butterfly kisses before we part

To live when I know what it is to die

This I shall do, for all to remember you

A fight, never done in vein

My heart strong because you came

Until my days are through

Quite moments I shall search for you

Every moment engraved upon my heart

Butterfly Kisses as we part

The toughest little girl the world ever knew

My sweet Baby girl
